They're so "accepting of diverging viewpoints" they mandated Harvard to devote effort to monitoring the viewpoints of foreign students so they can be deported for wrongthink...

Weird how many people with "diverging viewpoints" are getting grabbed off the street by masked ICE agents then.

  • Zero? I’m a visa holder in the US and I’m aware that supporting terrorists and celebrating violence against Jewish people is probably not going to make the country keep me here.

    • Weird how wide the definition of "supporting terrorists" seems to be. Especially given that State has now said that people's "expected future beliefs" can be used to disqualify them.

Have you no hesitation, even at this late juncture? Read everyone elses comment above, and try to stretch your critical thinking ability just a bit.

Trump is our Caesar, we have ceased to be a constitutional republic, and you defend this with blithely pretending that 2 months of pure power-madness have not been occurring in plain view of the entire world?

I suspect that such discourse as we have will not be "permitted" indefinitely.

  • No, I have no hesitation. How are you not finding it obvious that the government are trying to end racially based admittance programs?

    • Because I read the letter from the government to Harvard. Did you? Racially-based admittance is only one bullet out of ten. The government isn't demanding specific policy changes, they are demanding cultural and ideological control of the university.

"It's fairly clear that Herr Hitler only means to instill properly virtuous German educational values."

No, we've seen more than enough to know exactly what kind of administration this is, and how it lies.

FFS it's just 3 months in and already they're kidnapping people from America into concentration camps for the rest of their lives (however short that might be) with no trial nor even the pretense of charges.

Come to think of it, what's The Hacker News policy on storing user information? Is it time for people who aren't fans of the current administration to make new accounts?
